Which software is more suitable for Electric Motor Thermal Simulations? Hypermesh CFD or SimLab?

Main purpose is for estimation of HTCs rather than temperature distribution

Hi @sandeep123,

Altair SimLab can be used to incorporate multiple physics, including structural, thermal, electromagnetics and fluid dynamics, and can be easily set up using highly automated workflows, significantly reducing the time spent creating finite element models and interpreting results. 

SimLab not only accelerates structural, thermal flow, and electromagnetic simulations – its intuitive workflows also enable users of all levels to explore multiphysics interactions that impact a design's performance. Optimize an electric motor design, factoring in electromagnetics, thermal, and flow physics within a single user environment. Simulate the damage to a PCB assembly from repeated thermal loading and random vibration, accounting for the effects of thermal, electrical, and structural physics. These advanced simulations allow engineers to understand how parts behave under real-world conditions in environments requiring linear, nonlinear steady-state, and linear transient analysis, or contact-based electromagnetics, structural, and thermal analysis.
